The Three Kings

This is one of my favorite Christmas movies ever! My parents recorded it when I was a kid, and we used to watch it every year. It's a really good story about three patients from a mental hospital who dress up as the three kings for a Christmas pageant and end up going to look for Baby Jesus. This movie is a good reminder of what Christmas is really all about, and I really wish they'd put it out on DVD. I saw it for sale on DVD on some foreign website, but I was naturally skeptical about how trustworthy the place was, and of course not all DVDs are viewable in all regions anyway. I was hoping that since it was for sale in a foreign country, they'd put it on DVD in the US not long after that, but no such luck. If you have the chance to watch this movie sometime, do it--you won't regret it!

I loved this movie. It has a wonderful ending. I was unable to view it on TV because I was attending a meeting for parent's with troubled teenagers, so I recorded the movie to watch later. I watched it once but forgot to take it out of the VCR and accidentally recorded over it. I would love to see this excellent Christmas Movie again. I can't believe that it has not been made into a DVD for Christmas viewing of so many people who have not been able to watch it. Nor has it been shown again on TV. I would love to see it again.Please tell me that there is a way I can see this wonderful movie with Lou Diamond Phillips, one of my favorite actors again. I am confined to bed and one of my few pleasures is watching TV or DVD's.

This movie is about 3 mental patients who play 3 kings in a Christmas Pageant. They ride real camels who run away with them on a wild trip through the city until they finally meet a pregnant woman needing help.

Heartwarming story and superb acting. I just obtained a DVD copy of this movie at www.truetvmovies.net. The quality isn't the best, but for those who love the movie, it's a great way to get it on DVD, especially when your VHS copies wear out. Merry Christmas!

This wonderful Christmas movie comes to mind every year and I would love to see it again. ABC must have a copy somewhere and they should definitely rebroadcast it. Anyone found it on DVD yet? The three mental patients who believe they are the wise men in search of the Christ child are endearing and funny. As things get totally out of wack in their misadventure, one wonders if things will end well...I mostly remember the bond developed between these three men, the way the world misunderstands their intentions, and their attempts to "fix" things. I seem to remember that there was even a real camel involved or was that a horse? My mind is foggy on lots about this movie that came out in 1987, but know it's worth another look!

the three kings was produced by Spelling Entertainment in 1987 and aired on ABC starring Jack Warden and Lou Diamond Phillips. It is now owned by CBS they it is in their vault and they don't know of anyone looking for the movie. You have to call them at 310-264-3300. Their is a lady there who worked for Spelling Enterteimant and knows the movie. They won't release it because of lack of interest. If this movie is to be released people have to call and (annoy) request it to be released. This is one great holiday movie and should be released again they say it's deep in their vault but until their is enough interest in the movie Don't forget call CBS
